Given the points X(-2, 5) and Y(2, -3), find the coordinates of the point P on

Mathematics

The coordinate of the point P will be (6/5, -7/5). Then the correct option is C.

The complete question is attached below.

<h3>What is the section of the line?</h3>

Let A (x₁, y₁) and B (x₂, y₂) be a line segment. Then the point P (x, y) divide the line segment in the ratio of m:n. Then we have

x = (mx₂ + nx₁) / (m + n)

y = (my₂ + ny₁) / (m + n)

Given the points X(-2, 5) and Y(2, -3).

Then the coordinates of the point P on directed line segment XY that partitions segment XY such that the ratio of XP to PY is 4:1.

(x₁, y₁) = (-2, 5)

(x₂, y₂) = (2, -3)

m = 4

n = 1

Then the point will be

x = [4 × 2 + 1 × (-2)] / (4 + 1)

x = 6 / 5

y = [4 × (-3) + 1 × 5] / (4 + 1)

y = -7 / 5

The coordinate of the point P will be (6/5, -7/5).

Then the correct option is C.

More about the section of the line link is given below.

Alborosie

Answer:

∠ BDA = 55° , ∠ BCA = 70°

Step-by-step explanation:

∠ BOA = 360° - 250° = 110° ( angles round a point )

The central angle is twice the angle on the circle, subtended on the same arc

∠ BDA = \frac{1}{2} ∠ BOA = \frac{1}{2} × 110° = 55°

OBCA is a tangent kite

Opposite angles sum to 180° , then

∠ BCA = 180° - ∠ BOA = 180° - 110° = 70°

<h2>Steps:</h2>

So firstly, this function is asking us to divide f(x) by g(x) so let's set that up as such:

(\frac{f}{g})(x)=\frac{x^2-x-6}{1}\div \frac{x-3}{x+2}

Next, remember that <u>dividing by a number is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal.</u> To find the reciprocal of a number, flip the numerator and denominator around. With this info, flip the second fraction to it's reciprocal and change the sign to multiplication:

(\frac{f}{g})(x)=\frac{x^2-x-6}{1}\times \frac{x+2}{x-3}

Next, we are going to factor x² - x - 6. Firstly, what two terms have a product of -6x² and a sum of -x? That would be -3x and 2x. Replace -x with 2x - 3x:

(\frac{f}{g})(x)=\frac{x^2+2x-3x-6}{1}\times \frac{x+2}{x-3}

Next, factor x² + 2x and -3x - 6 separately. Make sure that they have the same quantity on the inside of the parentheses:

(\frac{f}{g})(x)=\frac{x(x+2)-3(x+2)}{1}\times \frac{x+2}{x-3}

Now you can rewrite it as:

(\frac{f}{g})(x)=\frac{(x-3)(x+2)}{1}\times \frac{x+2}{x-3}

Next, multiply:

(\frac{f}{g})(x)=\frac{(x-3)(x+2)^2}{x-3}

Next, divide:

(\frac{f}{g})(x)=(x+2)^2

And lastly, simplify:

  • A good tip: (x+y)^2=x^2+2xy+y^2

(\frac{f}{g})(x)=x^2+4x+4

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>The correct option is C. x² + 4x + 4.</u>

I need help on this question for the beginning of the year test
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

She still has to cut 1 3 /16

Step-by-step explanation:

Olivia wants to cut 3 3/4 inches from a piece of string. Converting 3 3/4 to improper fraction, it becomes 15/4 inches.

She already cut off 2 9/16 inches converting to improper fractions it becomes 41/16 inches.

15/4 - 41/16 = (60-41)/16 = 19/16 inches

19/16 = 1.187 ~ 1

19 - (16 x 1) =3
